Good questions. I made my assertion based on the Hartnett card in Huggins and Scott being the exact same pose as the one in this group. Them not being reversed negatives doesn't bother me as much as the other revelation about the ship. I will have to think about it and research it some more. I still think they are from Sun Pictures but maybe not 100% sure now....Any more thoughts are appreciated.
